The Grand Prairie boy's death comes about a year after his mother got a restraining order preventing the hospital from removing him from life support.

Daniel was born prematurely and suffered from brain damage and breathing problems.

Daniel's case was championed by right-to-life advocates who want to modify the state's futile-care law. The law allows hospitals to discontinue life support for a patient ten days after their ethics board decides lifesaving measures are pointless.

A bill that would have given families up to 21 days to transfer patients after an ethics board decision died in the legislative session that ended this week.
